Argentina vs Chile Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Argentina:
E.Martinez; Montiel, Martinez Quarta, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Di Maria, Paredes, De Paul, Acuna; L.Martinez, Messi
Chile:
Bravo; Isla, Diaz, Maripan, Beausejour; Pulgar, Aranguiz; Pinares, Sanchez, Vargas; Brereton
Argentina welcome Chile at Estadio Unico Madre de Cidades for a match of World Cup qualifying round. The hosts are sitting on second place in the standings with 10 points, two less than first-placed Brazil who are the only South American nation to have claimed maximum points so far. The Chileans, meanwhile, are down to 6th spot with only four points from four matches. Argentina started the qualifications in solid way. First they beat Ecuador with 1:0 thanks to Messi who converted a penalty in the 13th minute. In the second match the Albiceleste won 2:1 against Bolivia with goals scored by Lautaro Martinez and Correa. The opening double was followed by an 1:1 draw at home to Paraguay, while Argentina secured a 2:0 away triumph in Peru in their last qualifier which took place in November 2020. Nicolas Gonzalez, who play for Stuttgart in Bundesliga, scored on both matches, while Lautaro Martinez secured the victory in Peru. Argentina are not convincing in attack, finding the net just six times so far, half as many as Brazil. For this match, they will also have to cope without Juventus striker Paolo Dybala, who withdrew from the squad due to injury. Head coach Lionel Scaloni will probably opt a 4-4-2 formation, with Messi and Lautaro Martinez leading the line and Sergio Aguero at the bench. Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Angel Di Maria will be the main creative.
Chile are outside Top-5 spots on the table. They have only four points from four matches and coach Martin Lasarte, who replaced Reinaldo Rueda, is feeling a big pressure. A lack of concentration in the finish have resulted with dropping points in three of their four fixtures so far. The Chileans have lost 2:1 to Uruguay after conceded a 93rd-minute goal in their opening World Cup qualifier. In the second round they dropped another two points by playing a 2:2 home draw with Colombia. Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez gave a 2:1 lead, but a 91st-minute goal from Radamel Falcao spoiled the impression. The only victory was obtain against Peru in the third round. Chile won 2:0 thanks to Arturo Vidal's brace. The outstanding performance of the midfielder placed him as the fifth historical scorer for the national team with 31 goals, with which he surpassed a historical one like Carlos Caszely. La Roja's most recent encounter away at Venezuela finished with a painful 2:1 loss after they conceded an 81st-minute goal from Salomon Rondon. That was a first victory for Venezuela in the campaign. Chile are now 6th in the current standings, two points behind Paraguay and Uruguay. As You probably know, the fourth place guarantees participation at the World Cup in Qatar, while the fifth place means an inter-confederation playoff. Chile missed out on qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and another failure will be like a catastrophe. But there is a big problem ahaead of this mastch - key player Arturo Vidal has tested positive for coronavirus and won't play. His absence is a huge handicap. Lasarte will also miss the 35-year-old winger Fabian Orellana, who is suffering with a muscle injury.
Argentina vs Chile Prediction:
Argentina won the last three official matches against Chile, but lost twice on penalties during the Copa America in 2015 and 2016, tournaments in which Chile went on to become champions for the first and second time in their history. It is clear this will be an interesting clash. Argentina are unbeaten in their last 11 matches across all competitions, recording seven victories and four draws in the process. Chile, meanwhile, have only won three of their last 11 games. Lead by Messi, I think Argentina are closer to the victory.
